I have a natural ability to conceptualize and implement web content. I have a keen eye and experience in graphic design as it relates to the internet/Intranet and publishing and advertising. I am a Photoshop Master
Trainer with many years experience administering Adobe Photoshop Training. Developed a two day course with hours of video screen presentations for a two CD Photoshop Course. I have been developing for Joomla almost exclusively for the past 4 years. I am bright, articulate, and have a pleasant and professional manner. I have accumulated a vast amount of web design, programming and mastering experience. I have working experience in the advertising and publications sectors. My experience as a web developer has given me the ability and foresight to conceptualize a finished application, project or campaign and how it relates to user issues, expansion, compatibility and the bottom line before work begins. I have a deep understanding of modern marketing and advertising concepts. I have extensive supervisory and sales skills and experience and relate well with employees when implementing company policies and ideas. I see myself as being very flexible, creative and willing to get involved. I have very strong communication skills and a good sense for interpreting instructions. I work well alone or as part of a team. I am very dependable and have a friendly attitude. My extensive customer service and sales background also give me the ability to deal with customers and co-workers fairly and efficiently under pressure. My experience and strong efforts to stay abreast of technical, advertising and marketing advances enables me to easily wear the many different hats that are so often required by a dedicated worker in today's modern,technical & fast paced work environment.

Joomla! web developer, programmer, support

“Neil was our saving grace. We came to him after being completely "had" by another web developer, who left us high and dry and with a site that had been hacked 3 times before going live.Neil took what we had (a disaster) and turned our vision into a reality. He became invested in our success. Neil is honest, reliable, available, sharp, dependable, trustworthy, patient. He is a teacher. We wanted to be as self-sufficient as possible and he took the time to educate us (off the clock) and worked hard to empower us so that we would not be 100% dependent on him to do the tasks that HE knew we were capable of doing.Neil is up-to-speed on new technological developments and always made sure that our site was up-to-date and if upgrades were available and relevant to our site, he would make sure our site was current. He ALWAYS had the integrity of our site top of mind. If we wanted to do something, he would find a way to make it happen (off the clock if he was educating himself). If it wasn't possible and/or if it would jeopardize the site in any way (make upgrades difficult), he wasn't afraid to let us know. Our relationship was a constant conversation with ideas flowing back and forth, always working as a team to solve problems.Beyond the technical, Neil is an amazing designer. He has created a number of ads for us and nails them every time. This always amazed us, as we have had a lot of experience working with designers. Neil not only looks out for us but he also thinks about our users, our clients. Neil wants us to succeed because if we succeed, he succeeds.Neil is a true professional and is invested in his clients. He is a partner to us in ever sense of the word. We are closing this assignment but opening a new one with him for ongoing development and maintenance.Neil - Thank you. You are truly special.”

“My experience with Neil Fabbo of Universe design was nothing short of fantastic. Neil's ability to take a concept and turn it into reality is better then anyone I have seen in the business. Working with Neil was more of a Partnership then a vendor/client relationship. He truly takes an interest in your business, which is important when developing a website. Neil is highly communicative and is available at the drop of hat. I never had to wait for a return phone call of email, day or night. He truly is a class act, with the ability to make anyones idea shine. I fully endorse Neil Fabbo and Universe Design and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to create, refresh or design their website.”
